Hello

I'm Gunjan Vaishnav

Automotive engineer

I am a Master's student in Engineering (THI) specializing in the virtual validation and automated testing of complex mechatronic systems. My core focus lies in ensuring the reliability, safety, and performance of Electronic Control Units (ECUs)—whether they are powering next-generation connected vehicles (V2X) or advanced smart home thermal systems.

Currently, I am driving automated ECU testing at Bosch, utilizing Python, SiL, and HiL methodologies to validate heat pump systems. My prior experience at Porsche Engineering provided a strong foundation in functional safety and prototype development, which I now apply to broader energy and electronic systems. I am passionate about bridging the gap between hardware and software, optimizing testing libraries, and building robust simulation tools.
